About
Openings between the tanks establish a route through buildings with different uses.
The intervention retains much of the industrial fabric. Glass enclosures in two tanks create controlled interiors while leaving the scale and surfaces of the original structures visible.
Sustainability
The four tanks are kept and reused, and the steel cut from them becomes the walkway that links them. Natural convection around the glass rooms inside two of the tanks keeps them from overheating.
